| Text: | I am kneeling, Lord, at mercy's gate |
| Author: | Lydia C. Baxter |
| Tune: | FLECTENS |
| Composer: | T. E. Perkins |
1 I'm kneeling, Lord, at mercy's gate,
With trembling hope and fear;
I've waited long, and still I wait
Thy gracious word to hear.
Thy precious word has bid me seek
The joys thou hast in store;
O Lord, in mercy speak to me,
I'm kneeling at the door,
I'm kneeling at the door;
Kneeling at the door;
O Lord, in mercy speak to me,
I'm kneeling at the door.
2 None ever empty turned away,
Who truly sought thy face:
And I, my Saviour, come today,
To seek thy pardoning grace.
Thy precious blood is all my plea:
This can my soul restore;
O, Lord, in mercy speak to me,
I'm kneeling at the door,
I'm kneeling at the door:
Kneeling at the door;
O Lord, in mercy speak to me,
I'm kneeling at the door.
